Corporate Escapology

16. Meet Nicole - Buyer & Retail Coach - Corporate Escapology The Podcast

Adam Forbes

The Corporate Escapology podcast is here to show you pathways that others have trodden to leave their corporate job and do something more fulfilling, purposeful and rewarding.  Like Nicole is doing.

Nicole was straight off the bat from university into buying jobs for high street brands many of us grew up with - Debenhams, Warehouse, M&S, Bon Marché, George at ASDA and more.  During that twenty year career she amassed a huge range of buying experiences across multiple categories and global supply chains.  But in 2019, she received some coaching and it changed her focus - towards building something for herself: The Buyer & Retail Coach.  First as a side hustle, alongside some contract work as a Head of Buying at ASDA, then dialled down during COVID (to double-hat with home-schooling!) and now fully dedicated.  Well actually, not fully dedicated because Nicole has other ventures brewing too.  Such amazing advice about aligning your short, medium & long term goals with what you want to Do, Be and Have.
